QUIZ EXEMPTION
The custom of permitting senior with high scholastic standing to graduate without taking the final examinations of their last semester in school was violated this year, and the examinations this week include those seniors who graduate in the middle of the year, regardless of the quality of their work. The faculty committee upon whose decision the matter rests has not decided if the custom will be followed next semester.
The committee decided not to exclude seniors from the finals this semester on the grounds that the practice tended to lower the general standards of scholarship at the University. But are they absolutely correct?
It has been the custom to waive the
It has been the custom to wave the final examination requirements of those seniors whose grades were not lower than A's or B's. The senior was given an added incentive to work hard during the semester, looking forward to the avoidance of the final examination baggage. The tendency obviously was to raise the standard of scholastic work rather than to lower it. Under the system that is being followed this semester, it is only too probable that the senior will allow his work to "slide" throughout the semester and depend upon intensive "cramming" the nights before the finals to insure himself a high grade in the course.
Much is said concerning the preservation of high standards of scholarship, but would not an analytical study of the best ways to preserve this standard be commendable?
THIS VACATION
The weekend vacation is a day longer than usual this week. Examinations will be finished, and most of the students will be "in the clear" as far as work on their studies is concerned.
What do students do with their vacation? A healthy mixture of play and rest is generally considered most fitting at such a time, when the responsibilities of study are removed.
One side of learning that receives very little attention from students is the study of contemporary history, the "current events" as told in the newspapers and magazines. The K. U. student could very greatly increase crease his sphere of knowledge, and get a new angle on many of his classes, by reading up a little on the happenings of the day in reliable current publications.
"SPLASH!"
"Darn that mutt! Who told him he could splash mud all over me?" An a pretty young thing stood by t
ad-side all beispritten with mud and water while the dashing, young feeder speeded blissfully on his way, unheafful of the damage his handsome roadster had done to the pretty coat, face and stocking of that, corking miss he had just passed. No, this is not the starting of a romance, but the bare recital of facts as they happen at K. U. when it is raining.
The roads about the campus at K. U. have never been surfaced with anything but a superficial coating of cinders here and there, so that when hard rains come it is often almost an impossible to get about the campus in a car and it is no uncommon sight to see a big truck try and try to get around under a heavy load, only to have call for help or give up in disair. The road from the street car tracks west is a disgrace to any self-respecting community, and more than a disgrace to a big university. With the slightest rainfall the roads become so muddy that every car passing liberally sprinkles every one that . . . it
THE LAW SCRIM
The Law Scrim went more than $400 in debt.
No blame can be fixed for this regrettable condition. The budget as made public by the auditing committee, accounts for every penny. The managers are responsible students, and many are dropping the custom honestly.
But they were reckless in expenditure. They plunged head-over-heels into expenditure of every kind, didn't "watch the corners" on expense, and in their endeavor to make the party the finest ever staged on Mount Oread, overstepped their limits of resources.
The Law Serim was the only all-university formal hold on the Hill this year. Fraternities are mournuring, and any are dropping the custom. Soon the formal dance, with its prohibitive expense will be gone from the University, if the present feeling continues.
And that $426 deficit this year. Oh,
the Student Council paid one like that
last year. Suppose they'll do it again!
FAVORING A. S. P. C. P.
Every University freshman knows that Gaul is divided into three parts, two parts being in the possession of seniors.
This old truism was freshly brought home to two University faculty members who have been advising the second semester enrollment of the seniors this week.
Nothing can compare with the blase air with which the bliteh young women come to the appointed place, fifteen minutes after the set time, with a full list of freshman-sophomore subjects, and remote lecture courses requiring many elementary courses, of which they "wot not a whit."
And the men! They, too, come with card in hand, "all primed to enroll in everything from astronomy to "English Usage" apparently having garnered their courses blindfolded, at midnight. From a two-year-old catalog. Many wish to enroll in courses offered only in the first semester. Many would extend their activities to engineering, law and medicine courses. And all are filled with the holy zeal for knowledge, a craving hetofore unknown in their three and one-half years of higher education.
Climbing Mount Oread once a day has apparently been their only effort at getting up in the world, until now. They would make up for lost time by taking eighteen hours of work. Nothing will satisfy them save the knowledge of a Secrates, gathered from the lectures of their last semester. They would invoke French literature with their five hours of freshman French obliterated by a lapse of three years; they would take bacteriology on the qualification of having visited one day in Snow Hall, and, worst of all, they expect to convince the poor porforess that they are qualified, nary, enthyminally suited, to make all "Aa" in all the choices of their quiz-belfuddled minds.
So, then, let us suggest the organization of the first chapter of the S. P. C. P—Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Professors, and as t first step of our crusade, give the picking of students' courses entirely to the faculty members who now only "advise."
Small wonder is it then that the Associated and Amalgamated Statistical Society fixes another blame service. The military units of the nation are responsible for eradicating the frenzy of freakdom in fraternity houses.
IS PADDLING ENDED?
The army or the war itself is blamed for almost everything these days.
IS PADDLING ENDED?
At least so declares a member of the national Pan-Hellenic organization in the monthly publication. He says that paddling of Freshwater and Salt Water of the United States, and that no longer is the yearly forced to stand and eat off the manhandle, in very exceptional cases. He attempts to explain this by citing the cases of men in service who use the river as an or university since their discharge.
"No able-bodied wear of a service stripe is going to let a diminutive, shallow-checked undergraduate whale the tar out of him with a well-bladed bungle," the author says. "Instead, he feels more like taking the paddle away from the upperclassman, and inflicting a good liking." . . . .
Of course, paddling has its place as a punishment, but excessive use of it degrades respect and is not creative of harmony in fraternal life."
On the Hill, the erase of abolishing the paddle has not yet run riot. Most of the Kansas Greek-letter organizations still retain the edgelud as a part of their freshmen's education. However some of them declare that they realize the maltreatment of neophytes will not continue much longer.

On Other Hills
Extravagances of formal dances held on the California campus are under fire by the student newspaper,
the "daily canonner" out by the paper that the expenses Day 7 of which was celebrated last week, totaled more than $18 for the men who attended the fare in the afternoon and the prom in the evening.
Editors of the Wellesley, Radcliffe, and Vassar student journals are contemplating the idea of an intercollegiate magazine. The plans provide for a regular co-operative publication of the six colleges, Smith, Vassar, Holyok, Radcliffe, Barnard, and Wellesley.
There is a general movement of reform on the campus to cut down the expenses of all social affairs. Flowering in this new all campus dances by universal ruling.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Members of the class present the charges made against their ceremony, and declare that they will pay ten dollars during the day. Facts and figures are quoted by both sides of the controversy to prove their arguments, the Juniors declaring that the items for taxis, flowers, and candy, and also those for hiring dress suits and renting autos for the evening should not be beaten, because so few of the students indulged in these extravagances.
